Southwark Bridge

This is a view of Southwark Bridge looking in a westward direction with St Paul’s cathedral in the distance. At dusk the bridge starts a light show, an amazing sight and experience as the lights are softly reflected on the Thames.

The tree demanded toContinue reading “Pomegranates”

La Briscola e il Telefonino

Last year I was sitting outside a bar in Calabria enjoying a cold beer on a beautiful summer’s day in August.
